FM10 - Hit or Miss?

Now patch 10.3 is out and people have had a chance to use it for a few days I feel now is a fair time to ask the question - is FM10 a hot or miss?

For me it's a hit, it was from release and through 10.2 personally but I understand others may have had some issues with the game which have hopefully been sorted. This latest patch really puts the icing on the cake for me, it feels like some rough edges have been smoothed and gets a big from me.

You should put a poll on here, for us loyal lurkers to vote on .

But.. HIT!!

edit: you did before I posted, I feel like a fool:p.

Total hit, its been a great game so far and now its even better with 10.3.

Too quick to criticise

Been unaddicted for the past few versions. Now addicted again

Too quick to criticise

What can I say, I’m a critical man .

Hit - only after 10.3 wasnt a fan of 10.2

10.3 is much improved love the new patch

Quite a high vote so far and good to read some feedback. As I said in the OP, it can be hard to imagine problems with the game when you don't experience them yourself.

Hit so far

Absolute hit.

Using amer's logic, 90% think it's a hit

A hit. The game continues to evolve and getter better each year in terms of gameplay, ME and visually.

The areas that badly need work for me are pre-season, press conferences, and general media/staff intereaction.

I feel alot could be done with pre-season to bring it in line with the real world. As we know now, pre-season is not only about conditioning players for the new season, but also used for commercial means aswel. Hence the big international pre-season tournaments that take place around the world now.

Always been a hit from me, since FM07 even. I'm more of a cricket fan than a football fan, and without trying to be disrepectful, everybody here is a little bit spoilt. The most advanced cricket management simulators out there are simply pitiiful when compared to FM - they don't even come close, so having brought up with them and then playing FM is simply incredible.

FM is a stunning game. It really is.

Good poll but way too early simon. Not sure those who loved 10.2 or hated 10.2 would be swayed in a couple of days. Those that had little niggles might, but it would be interesting to see the results of poll and then run it again in say 3 months.

I bet when patch 10.2 came out the exitment swayed alot of people and it took a little time to notice its bad points.

I have only played 10.3 for an hour but have enjoyed it very much compared to 10.2, however i personaly haven't had enough time to conclude if its a hit or miss.

Hit 10.3:thup:

I'm not sure. I think now is the perfect time as 10.2 is still fresh in the minds of people.

Miss so far for me but I'm going to try to give it more time. So I think that means I'm still sort of undecided.

Make your mind up

Wicked game, almost identical to all its predecessors but feels nicer somehow. (Im still on 10.2)

Dead on hit!!

Absolutely a hit for me. As always there are some minor issues but all in all 10.3 is an awesome game AFAIC.

Just like with the Lisbon treaty I've been asked to vote on this twice, but unlike Lison I vote Tá both times.

10.2 was a miss... with 10.3 it's a hit.

Haven't played it yet-still playing FM09 so couldn't possibly vote.

I was definately not impressed at first as the game was virtually unplayable. But having waited for the latest patch, and having played the game now, it is a lot more smoother. There is still a couple of problems here and there, {especially when the screen turns white when I have the highlights on. In which case I can't even see the comment bar at the bottom}. But, apart from that little thing, the rest of the game is very very good indeed. So, I will give this game a hit.

Its a massive hit

This. Best version yet imo

This. Best version yet imo

I think 10.3 has made it the best version yet. Up until then it was perfectly playable but I preferred 9.3 over 10.0/1/2.

10.3 brought me back playing the game again after the disappointment that was 10.2. So it's a big hit. The best version since FM 07.

The single best feature of FM 2010 is not actually the game itself, but rather the editor that allows to add a league from anywhere in the world.

However in later versions of FM, i would like to see down to lv 11 in england as standard, rather than as an addition that needs tons of work. Maybe you don't need to do all the regional cups so low down though, just the divisions and the FA Vase.

as for the game itself, 10.2 a hit, 10.3 a miss

Who would do the research? And whats the point of having the detail of every league but not all the cups?

But for me, all of FM10 was a hit, and each patch has improved it.

10.3 for a third patch is a big miss

But the odd years are better FM years anyway

Hit for me they have managed to turn it around and make this game playable

I am really enjoying this years game it is such a challenge and vert exciting watching the matches in 3D.

Best football manager game at the moment, even without any patches but 1.3 makes it even 30% better.

There is still room for improvement though.

I play it for 2 month every single day at least 1.5 hrs which is amazing (I must be sick in some way ).

The 10.2 patch made it really good, but the 10.3 patch makes it a clear hit. The whole experience is VERY enjoyable.

Hit.

10.1 was good for me, apart from tackling/defending; 10.2 was (in my opinion) poor, so I reverted to 10.1.

But 10.3 really is a very good patch, and has brought back the coveted 'immersion factor', that had been missing for me since FM2007.

With 10.3, Football Manager is an excellent game.

Overall, i feel the game is more finished than when it was released, as you would expect, but it could do with some improvements. I'lld say a hit so far, other two patches were a miss though.

What do you mean, what is 'coveted "immersion factor"'. I'm really interested in this.

Immersion

complete attention; intense mental effort

the concentration of attention or energy on something

Miss: Game is good ill give ya that, but after 3 patches: gaming rigs that fill sys specs by a lot cant run game properly, bugs in ME (corner and others), etc... FM10 10.3.0 looks like what a BETA should have looked like IMO. (still, i live he serier and ill wait fo FM11, hopefully better than this one.)

This could be the first version which I have played one save from release day right through to the release of the next game, that makes it a massive success in my eyes.

Voted Hit and i stick by it, but i still think some of the basics are wrong in the game as i have said on other threads.

I do concede that no game is bug free though so all in all i reckon its a good effort by SI
